I love the Savannah, but the cost starts in the thousands and I have seen some up to 8000 thousand dollars..you can get them under 1000 depends on if you want breeding stock and how many generations they are from the Serval. Thats an African small wild cat that is the bases of the breed. They are very tall and seem to have maintained the long legs of the wild cat...Not a cat you let roam the neighborhood at that price...they do maintain a wild look but are suppose to be of a good disposition. First generation are usually breeding only 1/2 wild 1/2 domestic.

When I first found them did quite a bit of research on them...It took 5 generations to get a fertile male. Hybrids are usually sterile.

I just read this about them: Savannah cat is considered one of the larger races of domesticated cats. Savanna is generally compared with dogs in their loyalty, and they will follow their owners around the house like a dog. They also can be trained to walk on the rope, and even fetch. Savanna is reported as very social and friendly with new people and other cats and dogs, while others can run and hide or revert to hissing and growling when seeing a stranger. Savannah is very curious, and have been known to get into all sorts of things. They often learn how to open doors and cabinets, Savannah is a cat that is not afraid of water and more people will play or even immerse themselves in water. Some owners even take a bath with their cats Savannah.

This is Alvin!
